Wikipedia—When O'Riordan was auditioned as the lead singer for the band, she wrote the lyrics, turning it into a song of regret based on an experience with a 17-year-old soldier she once fell in love with. Drummer Fergal Lawler recalled the process in an interview, saying:

It was a Sunday afternoon. She arrived with a keyboard under her arm, just set it up and played a few songs. We couldn't really hear her because she was singing through a guitar amp or something. I gave her a lift up to the bus stop and I was saying, 'Will we see you next week?' We gave her a tape of the music for 'Linger', which she took with her. The following week she came back, and she had lyrics written out and melodies and she sang along to what we were playing, and it was like, 'Oh, my God. She's great'.
In the documentary '99 Love Life & Rock 'n' Roll, O'Riordan says that the song is about her first serious kiss.

She had such a wonderful voice. Sad how she passed.

[skye]

I saw her in 1992. So shy and sang this song, I had goosebumps and still do right now. I love this song, her voice is incredible.

[BRIDINC]

Definitely Dreams.
A must hear, Delores 's voice was amazing.
RIP, Always missed.

Give a female Irish singer some words with an R in them to sing and the heavens open up...that accent is pure gold.

[jacqueline]

Remember YEARS ago I bought a Cranberries CD for one song, and put it on when I was painting my kitchen, let it run and EVERY song was fantastic. Played it the whole night ❤

[airun]

One of the saddest days in music when she passed. Miss you

[EveryCloud]

Cranberries >>>> DREAMS
One of the best.

[MasterJohnMoss]

Their album 'No Need to Argue' is a straight, top-to-bottom masterpiece.

[brandonjones]

RIP me Irish sister. Love thus song. Ty Peg ☘️🙏☘️

The first song she wrote for the Cranberries. They gave her a melody and asked her to write some lyrics as part of her audition. Song about a boy who was her first kiss and first boyfriend. Sometime after that they broke up. He was military.

[doncuadrado]

It's her Limerick accent that comes out loud and clear in her voice making it distinctive . I spent 4 years there in the late 80s and haven't forgotten that accent.

[maggiemoon]

She wrote it when she was dating my cousin David. He moved to Limerick from Scotland. My Aunt told me this story. I met her at David’s funeral. So sad they are both gone RIP.

[VicEclectica]

24 years strong and this song is playlist. Not because it has a strong meaning to me, but because of Dolores' beautiful voice. True talent taken far too soon.

Dolores O' Riordan was only 18 when she joined The Cranberries in 1989... She died at age 46 in 2018 😪 Her voice was instantly recognizable and she could yodel, sing in soprano and sing rock music w/ force.
The Cranberries' debut album "Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we" was released in 1993 and took a year to sell w/ massive singles - 'Dreams'... and 'Linger'... the album sold 5x platinum in the US... 'Dreams' is still used in movies and commercials.
2nd album 'No need to argue' was released in 1994 and it sold 7x platinum in the US (17 million copies worldwide) w/ major hits like - 'Zombie'... 'Ode to my family' ... "I can't be with you"... 🔥🔥
The Cranberries' 3rd album 'To the faithfully departed' in 1996 charted at #4 in the US but took some of the backlash against 90's alternative rock... it sold 2x platinum w/ hits like "When you're gone" ... 'Salvation'.
4th album 'Bury the hatchet' sold gold in the US (half million copies) in 1999... 5th album 'Wake up and smell the coffee' in 2001 failed commercially selling 170K units in the US... The Cranberries broke up soon after.

Dolores O' Riordan released 2 solo albums in 2007 and 2009... neither were commercially successful. She finally reunited w/ The Cranberries to tour in 2009 and recorded new music ... Unfortunately, she had personal problems... divorced in 2014... arrested after an episode... diagnosed w/ bi-polar disorder in 2015... She was struggling in 2017 w/ back problems as she worked on a new Cranberries album.
Dolores O' Riordan died drowning in her hotel bathtub from alcohol intoxication in early 2018... (R.I.P.) She was due to put her vocals on a cover of 'Zombie' by the band Bad Wolves (The cover single was released in her honor)
In 2019, The Cranberries released their 8th and final album 'In the end' w/ Dolores' vocals and announced that the band was over without her.

Saw The cranberries supporting REM at a stadium gig. When they played this the crowd sang along and I think it surprised the band.

[laurabrevitz]

I'll say it in every reaction to the Cranberries - Fergal Lawler, the drummer, is WICKED underestimated. He's the driving force behind the sound. With Dolores's ethereal voice on top? Can't miss.

And yes, "Dreams" was and remains my all-time favorite Cranberries song. Please react to it!

I can promise you, you will fall in love with this band.
